The Washington storage onion season is winding down while Northern California and New Mexico are in full swing. Markets remain steady at lower levels.

Washington

• Markon First Crop (MFC) Onions are available
• Yellow and red onion storage supplies will finish over the next two to three weeks

California

• All sizes are adequate (peaking on larger sizes) following the transition from Southern California

• Quality is good; excess skin is typical of fresh-run onions

• Markets are steady

New Mexico

• MFC Onions are available
• Supplies of all sizes are adequate
• Quality is good; excess skin is typical of fresh-run onions
• Higher moisture content is to be expected with fresh run onions and will translate to shorter shelf-life; Markon recommends ordering for quicker turns
